[kj] Jaz Straw

[flight Bringer]

Robert. I would say that Jack Straw and his constituents live and work 
together . I'm sure that they've put their Religious differences aside and 
work together for the common good . I have not seen the fact that he was 
Jewish mentioned anywhere , infact I did nt even know until you mentioned it 
..
  Jews and Muslims (generally) all live and work together in the UK . 
Discrimination is illegal in this country
